Here are mathematicians at work in Mrs. Gratiot's fourth grade classroom! Using Building Thinking Classrooms, students are collaborating at whiteboards to explore new problems, explain their thinking, and learn from one another. Everyone is active, engaged, and thinking deeply about math!

Mrs. Gibson's Kindergarten class was lucky enough to have Jess Justensen visit our class today and teach us how to make flower bouquets. We loved getting to pick flowers, trim the stems and arrange our flowers! We had so much fun, thank you Mrs. Justensen!

A special thank you goes out to our custodial staff today!

Congratulations to Ann Ferguson on her retirement this Thursday. Dufur School District appreciates your dedication to keeping our school clean and safe, Ann!

We are so grateful to our wonderful community for donating supplies for the elementary STEAM makerspace. Thanks to your generosity, our list is complete, and we’re excited to begin our projects!

🏐💙 Last Thursday's Rangers volleyball game was about so much more than the score! 💙🏐
During September's Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, our Dufur community came together to support both our incredible team AND each other's mental health. Before the game, we took time to remind everyone that just like our Rangers on the court - we're stronger when we support one another.
In our tight-knit Dufur community, every person matters. Whether you're having your best day or your toughest, you belong here and your life has value. 💛
Our volleyball team shows us what real teamwork looks like - they communicate, lift each other up, and never give up on one another. That's the same energy we need when it comes to mental health in our community.
Remember Rangers:
✨ You are not alone
✨ It's okay to ask for help
✨ Check in on your friends and teammates
✨ 988 is always available 24/7
Thank you to everyone who helped make Thursday night special - from our amazing players to the fans who filled the gym with love and support. THIS is what Dufur strong looks like! 🧡💙
